The history of lashes and mascara is fascinating, characterized by its changing popularity and diverse styles. Keep reading to discover how lashes have evolved throughout the decades.
False lashes made their first appearance in the early 1900s, with movie stars like Mary Pickford and Anna Pavlova being known to wear them. Mascara also became popular during this decade, with the first commercial mascara product being sold in 1913.
The flapper era of the 1920s saw an increase in the popularity of false lashes and mascara, as women sought to emulate the bold, dramatic looks of stars like Clara Bow and Louise Brooks.
Hollywood continued to influence beauty trends in the 1930s, with actresses like Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich popularizing the use of false lashes and mascara to create a more dramatic, glamorous look.
World War II limited the availability of cosmetics as rationing was implemented. Eyelash products were scarcely available, but came in various shades such as black, brown, and blue. Traditional block cake mascaras were still being used, while cream mascara came in a tube and was applied with a small brush.
With the war over, the 1950s saw a return to more glamorous, feminine beauty looks, with false lashes and mascara becoming popular again. Movie stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor helped to popularize these beauty trends.
False lashes and mascara continued to be popular in the 1960s. Twiggy, a famous British model of the time, who was known for wearing dramatic falsies, spiked the trend. Twenty million false lashes were sold during the decade.
During the 1970s, there were a wide range of makeup trends. They varied from minimalistic to bold styles inspired by the Disco Era. Despite the variation, fake lashes became less popular, as natural lashes were considered more fashionable.
The 1980s saw a return to more glamorous, exaggerated beauty looks, with false lashes and mascara once again becoming popular. Pop stars like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper helped to popularize these beauty trends.
The 1990s saw a move towards more natural beauty looks, with minimal makeup and natural lashes becoming popular. Supermodels like Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford helped to popularize these beauty trends.
False lashes and mascara became popular again in the 2000s, with trends like thick, dramatic lashes and bold, colourful mascaras. Social media influencers and celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian and many more popularized these beauty trends.
